To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, BRYAN'M. VAUGHN, acitizen of the United States, residing at Montgomery, in the State ofAlabama, have invented a new and Improved Sample-Case, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same which will be more fully describedhe-reim boxes 1, preferablyprovided with a half flap 2 as shown in Fig. 1 Each compartment iscovered by swinging covers comprising respectively the outer part 5 andthe inner part 4. The outer part 5 is connected by the hinges 7 with thewall of the case. The innerpart 4 is connected by the hinge 6 with thepart 5 and adapted to be fastened to the inner wall of the case 9 by theflap 8- or other suitable fastener. On the inside of the swinging part 4are provided one or more pockets 3, open-faced, and open at their inneredges so that the flaps 2 of the cartons 1 can slide thereinto and bethere detachably held. Thus, whenever cover 4 is swung open,

every flap of a carton which is contained in one of said pockets 3 isinstantly thrown open and all the salable merchandise therein exposed toview. Furthermore, with the open faces ofthe pockets 3, such detailswith respect to the merchandise as ,are desired may be written on theinner sides of the Patented Dec.17,191 2.

flaps 2, or labels containing such details may be fastened thereto forinstant inspection.
